Why We Stock It

Laurent-Perrier's Blanc de Blancs without added dosage is rare enough to matter, and at this price it sits at the intersection of serious winemaking and genuine approachability. The absence of the sweetening dose lets the Chardonnay's minerality and structure speak plainly, which makes it a natural choice for anyone who finds conventional Champagne too soft.

Tasting Profile

The wine opens with restraint and reward, building rather than blooming on the first sip.

• Aroma: Green apple, hazelnut, white flower, chalk
• Palate: Dry, citrus-forward, subtle orchard stone fruits, almond
• Structure & Finish: High acidity, fine bubbles, long and mineral finish

Winemaking

Fermented and aged in the traditional méthode champenoise on lees for an extended period, building complexity without added sugar. The Brut Nature designation means no dosage is added after the secondary fermentation, a choice that emphasizes acidity and terroir over richness.

Serving & Pairing

Serve between 48 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not decant. Try it on its own as an aperitif, with oysters and raw shellfish, or alongside a simple crab salad. The wine's dryness and mineral character cut through salt and brine cleanly, making it a more natural match for raw seafood than sweeter Champagnes.

The Estate

Laurent-Perrier is a family-owned négociant house based in Tours-sur-Marne, managing vineyards and sourcing fruit across the region's best Chardonnay sites. The house has long maintained a focus on elegance and precision over power.

Terroir

Champagne's chalky soils and cool climate create ideal conditions for Chardonnay, and Blanc de Blancs bottles are sourced from the finest white-grape terroirs in the region, where chalk bedrock brings mineral tension and acidity. The high chalk content shows clearly in the wine's salinity and lean, persistent finish.
